Blythman and Compton pipe laying Contractors. 🤣 Very reasonable rates ($0.00). Spent most of the day digging and installing a water pipe to our Corlette compound. Took 3 hrs just to get under the footpath, digging through the rock and concrete waste. Our trusty manual underboring equipment of pick axe and crowbar finally got us there. 🥵 The two oldest guys in the club.😆 Backs have had a good work out!

Lately I’ve had a few really honest conversations with people about outrigging and mental health. More than one person has quietly said ‘this sport saved me.’

And honestly I get it.

There’s something powerful about being out on the water. The paddle rhythm. The early mornings. The teamwork. The salt. The moments of silence between conversations. The feeling of being held without needing to explain yourself. Knowing we’re coming home to land and our own hearts safely.

Outrigging doesn’t ask you to be perfect. Some days you show up strong, some days you show up tired, grieving, anxious, overwhelmed disconnected any myriad of life but somehow the canoe still carries you home.

I think a lot of us come for the excitement of paddling but stay because of what it gives us emotionally. Connection. Purpose. Belonging. Nervous system reset. Adventure. Laughter. Routine. Clears the head. Moves the body. Peace. Spirit. Friendships. Strength.

So if you’ve ever felt like outrigging helped carry you through something/s hard you’re definitely not alone and if you need this get in touch we’re here🤍
